Supporting you
Postnatal Support
The fourth trimester is a time for you to recover after birth, a time to get to know your new baby, rest, recuperate, adjust to your new life and take time to be nurtured. Learn more about the fourth trimester in my video blog here and more about my postnatal planning offering here. My role as your doula covers many different aspects and the support you need will probably change from day to day. I will be totally flexible to your individual family needs and my focus will be on you. Read more about my support as your postnatal doula here and check out my video blog to learn a little more about what can be included in a session. I will always be available by telephone, text or email throughout our relationship.

What’s included for £20*
-
an informative series of videos regarding the fourth trimester, newborn behaviour, what to expect, feeding, sleep and your postnatal recovery and planning ahead;
-
a resources library full of useful information for further reading and signposting for a variety of postpartum topics;

my detailed postnatal planning information booklet for you to enjoy and complete, looking at the support and plans you might want to put in place, including useful doula tips and suggestions throughout.
*(NB: you will receive 25% off this price if you book a minimum package of 36 hours with me postpartum).

If you would like to book a follow up in person visit with me to discuss all things postpartum, where I can answer any questions you may have and help you to think about a package of personalised support then this will be charged at my normal hourly rate. It's a perfect way for us to get to know each other better and for me to familiarise myself with your home and understand your priorities before I start supporting you.
It's always good to make a plan. When our needs are being met we feel happier and more secure and can face what parenthood might throw our way.

“Cat was a fantastic support to our family before the baby arrived and the entire time she was with us. A postnatal doula is a fantastic investment and I can highly recommend Cat!"
"Cat was so wonderful with our eldest which meant I could spend quality time with our new baby or take a shower. Cat was always happy to take the baby and hush him to sleep, she also helped with washing, cooking and a little cleaning."
“There's no one else I'd like to have around me more when I've just had my baby than Cat. She's not only fabulous with babies, but you genuinely feel that she loves you and your baby."
